What impact will this major adjustment of trademark fee standards have on us? Based on this issue, Lao Gao interviewed several active group members in the trademark WeChat group with several questions to see what they had to say.

1. Briefly talk about your views on this adjustment of trademark fee standards

@大宝: Personally, I feel that this time is a great benefit for both individuals and the entire industry. For individuals, price reduction is a visible benefit. For the industry, lowering fees means an increase in participation, and the registration and transfer of trademarks will definitely increase.

@风之子: Very good! I'm so happy! After the price is reduced, I won’t be afraid of rejection anymore! I also have the confidence to continue investing.

@gaozi-a: The Trademark Office’s price reduction is good news for entrepreneurs, and it will also make more small and micro enterprises pay attention to intellectual property rights.

@马狠久R: This price reduction has a very positive impact and the effect is very positive!

2. In addition to registration fees, what trademark fee adjustments are you most concerned about? Why?

@大宝: transfer, change and review. The review fee has been reduced, and I can now win bids that I didn't dare to take risks in the past. If there is a change, my company will need it. As for the transfer, I personally have invested in it, so I will naturally pay attention to it.

@风之子: The review is rejected. I personally think the fee should be the same as the registration fee.

@gaozi-a: For me personally, it should be trademark transfer and rejection of objections. For companies, I feel that it will not have much impact.

@马狠久R: Renew it. From trademark to brand is a long-term process. Renewal represents the cost of later maintenance. I am still more concerned about this.

3. After this fee adjustment, will you increase your investment in trademark registration?

@大宝: I think so. The current focus is on building our own company’s trademark and brand.

@风之子: Yes, this time the price will be reduced and he will raise another 50 bids!

@?gaozi-a: Yes, after all, the money saved can be used for wider protection.

@马久久R: Definitely!
